I'm very impressed. The car looks very good--also, I like the pics without the filter much better

Do you have any other recommendations for us DB owners? So DBC + PPG...is dbc some sort of standard? I've heard of ppg before. Anything else they need to know?

I thought they needed to use some color called "vindicator" or something?

Is this in San Jose? Also, can you PM me how much it cost to paint your kit?

BTW, your car looks good! The paint-match looks dead-on!

somehow PPG will give our Z car the 100% color match. Make sure you ask for it.

Yes, they are in SJ. Old Oalkand Rd near SJ air port. Very big facility. Price might varies since body kit is not the same (material, where they're from) However, they charge lower than most shop but quality is high. As for my kit, they charge me $1100 for paiting/installation and modification on the kit to make them look better.

yah. that it.

another review after few days driving: The drive getting bummy. I can feel the weight of the whole body kit. For those that going to change the whole body kit (front/rear/side), expect your ride will be rougher.
